title: "Challenge 248: Sorted Array Swap"
challengeType: 28
dashedName: challenge-248
---
# --description--
Given an array of integers, return a new array using the following rules:
1. Sort the integers in ascending order
2. Then swap all values whose index is a multiple of 3 with the value before it.
# --hints--
`sortAndSwap([3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5])` should return `[1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5]), [1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6]);
```
`sortAndSwap([9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8])` should return `[1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 9]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8]), [1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 9]);
```
`sortAndSwap([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])` should return `[1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 9]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), [1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 9]);
```
`sortAndSwap([12, 5, 8, 1, 3, 10, 2, 7, 6, 4, 9, 11])` should return `[1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 10, 9, 11, 12]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([12, 5, 8, 1, 3, 10, 2, 7, 6, 4, 9, 11]), [1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8, 10, 9, 11, 12]);
```
`sortAndSwap([100, -50, 0, 75, -25, 50, -75, 25])` should return `[-75, -50, 0, -25, 25, 75, 50, 100]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([100, -50, 0, 75, -25, 50, -75, 25]), [-75, -50, 0, -25, 25, 75, 50, 100]);
```
`sortAndSwap([5, 9, 13, 77, 88, 313, -10, -65, 0, 8, 99, 101, -4, 2])` should return `[-65, -10, 0, -4, 2, 8, 5, 9, 77, 13, 88, 101, 99, 313]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(sortAndSwap([5, 9, 13, 77, 88, 313, -10, -65, 0, 8, 99, 101, -4, 2]), [-65, -10, 0, -4, 2, 8, 5, 9, 77, 13, 88, 101, 99, 313]);
```
